This change re-enables the update check, used to send anonymous stats, for Linux.
The update check does not show the update bar, even if there is a newer version
of the software available. This will be addressed in a later commit.
Testing:
Testing this change from a QA perspective is problematic. These are the steps
I used to test the functionality of the change.
A)
* Change the version in package.json to a previous release version
* Build the binary on Linux
* Launch the browser ensuring:
* The browser does not crash on update init
* The updater scheduler is initiated
* Metadata is retrieved from the updater
* The updater bar is NOT shown
* The browser does not crash
* No attempt is made to update the browser binary
B)
* Change the browser version in package.json to a non-existent version
* Build on Linux and launch
* Ensure no metadata is retrieved
* Ensure that the ping is recorded in the dw.fc_usage table of stats
